Are you looking for a therapist who understands what it's like to experience ADHD and use the tools I teach? That's me! I am an LCSW and teacher focusing on helping adults learn to be more fluid and create lasting change for anxiety, ADHD, and life traumas. I also support people through life transitions, grief, and trauma through holding a safe nonjudgemental space. These are overwhelming times. We all need a safe space to voice our fears. I am the proud wife of an Army veteran and a LGBTQIA+ ally. I stand with the communities who are peacefully defending equal rights and safety for U.S. citizens and immigrants.
We all want to see a clear path forward toward a peaceful and joyful present and future. Becoming comfortable with yourself is one of the best ways toward creating lasting change. Together, we'll explore the underlying patterns and beliefs that may be blocking your way to finding peace with the past, creating new patterns, and building the wellbeing.
Therapy can feel like rock climbing for the first time. A bit unnerving. But a great first session is exhilarating- a safe place to be heard, to take a breath, begin again, and see yourself, the circumstances, or the challenge from a new point of view. Ready to forge a new path forward? Reach out today for a free phone consultation.

During your first appointment, we will have the opportunity to get to know each other, explore your history, and identify current goals. After our initial session, we will focus on exploring your experiences, and identify ways to address barriers and build new skills.
